  2. B \( \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6} \)
  3. C \( \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{OH}) \mathrm{CH}_{3} \)
  4. D \( C_{6} H_{5} C \equiv C H \)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Acetophenone cannot be prepared easily starting from \( \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \), because, in toluene the substitution will takes place
at different positions which will not form acetophenone.
